The Evergreen State College is one of the country's best institutions for undergraduate education, according to The Princeton Review. The education services company features the school in the new 2012 edition of its annual college guide, "The Best 376 Colleges."

For 2012, Fiske Guide to Colleges has designated 49 institutions – 24 public and 25 private – as Best Buys. All of the Best Buy schools fall into the inexpensive or moderate price category, and the designation is recognition of both value and academics at the college.

The Evergreen State College placed ninth on Sierra magazine’s fifth annual ranking of the nation’s top “Coolest Schools.” A salute to the efforts of colleges around the country helping to solve climate issues and operate sustainably, the cover feature spotlights the schools that are making a true impact for the planet, from UC Irvine’s energy-efficiency standards to Stanford’s commitment to maintaining undeveloped open space to Green Mountain College sourcing nearly half its energy from, yes, cow manure.
